ARRESTS IN FORMOSA
Two Americans and German ALLEGATION OF SPYING By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Shanghai, May 2. Advice has been received here that the Formosan police arrested two Americans and one German named Gates, Wrede, and Roubin respectively on a charge of violating the Shipping Act and also of entering a fortified zone without authority. The trio left Shanghai recently in a small sailing boat for a long cruise touching the Philippines, New Guinea, possibly Australia, and eventually proceeding to Cocos Island seeking to salvage the alleged gold in the cargo of the sunken cruiser Emden, and also the gold of a Spanish galleon said to have been sunk in the same locality. The Formosan authorities, however, claim that the Americans are really naval officers and were caught photographing the fortified zone.
